Objective:To establish a rapid detection method for plasticizing agents in food and drugs by using near infrared spectroscopy（NIR）.Method: The spectral data of a black tea beverage were measured and acquired by NIR spectrometer.After spectral preprocessing

partial least squares（PLS） regression models were established for the total amount of plasticizer in the beverage

as well as single quantitative analysis of the plasticizer content.Result: The model coefficients of determination（R2） of the total amount of plasticizers

phthalate

methyl phthalate

ethyl phthalate

butyl phthalate

octyl were 0.992 3

0.989 5

0.992 7

0.984 2

and 0.987 9

respectively.The external validation coefficients（r） of the established prediction model were 0.987 7

0.988 1

0.989 1

0.977 1

and 0.976 2

respectively.The standard deviations of the prediction sets（RMSEP） are 0.164 0

0.147 0

0.027 6

0.025 8

and 0.070 2

respectively.Conclusion: The rapid and quantitative analysis method for plasticizer by NIR is characterized by fast and accuracy and might be used as a method for rapid determination of the plasticizer content in quality control of food and medicine.
